Howdy y'all I live around FT Worth TX and have just gotten back into riding. I haven't ridden since I was a kid and had a bmx style single gear bike. I recently bought a 2010 trek 7000 hybrid off of craigs list for 185 and I am enjoying it pretty regularly. With 21 gears and it being a heck of a lot lighter than I would have imagined I am regularly averaging 12mph on 5+ mile rides. Anyhow what are some of the little things that I might find extremely helpful that I might not know about. The only thing I can think of is gel gloves, my hands hurt after a while, and a helmet. Well I look forward to y'alls responses.
